Paris, 1783: The Time Detectives land with the Montgolfier family, who are working on an extraordinary project. The brothers are pursuing the dream of building a hot air balloon. But they are not the only ones in Paris with this goal. Suddenly, strange things happen: the factory burns, the balloon comes under fire. Is someone trying to harm the Montgolfiers? Kim, Julian, Leon, and the cat Kija support the Montgolfiers in their preparations and investigate the mysterious incidents. Because the first public ascent is approaching – and the dream of flying is at stake. A thrilling criminal case in an era of change. How did people live in 18th-century Paris? With illustrations, factual information, and a glossary, history comes alive and becomes understandable.
